Samara Weaving will play Emma Frost in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men movie, according to multiple reports. The Australian actress, known for the film Ready or Not, has been cast in the reboot of the mutant superhero team. Emma Frost, a telepath, has been portrayed in comics as both a supervillain and a superhero over the years. The casting follows a search that included meetings with several candidates, and it comes after Marvel's panel at Comic-Con over the weekend made no mention of the X-Men. Weaving is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the studio builds toward introducing mutants. Neither report gave a release date or further plot details.
